Fantastic Universe ran for 69 issues, from June 1953 to March 1960,
under two different publishers. It was part of the explosion of science
fiction magazine publishing in the 1950s in the United States, and was
moderately successful, outlasting almost all the other magazines of the
period. The main editors were Leo Margulies and Hans Stefan Santesson;
under Santesson's tenure the quality declined somewhat, and the
magazine became known for printing much UFO-related material.
